Chapter 172: It's a Waste of Talent
"I don't know when this last paper will be approved, the review efficiency of the editorial board is a bit poor, and I really can't use the brain to overclock."
September 16, 2017, Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics, Beijing University, Beijing.
In the morning, Xu Yun sat in his independent office, with a large amount of scratch paper full of mathematical formula symbols piled up on the desktop next to him, but his bright eyes stared at the core journal web pages in the field of artificial intelligence that were being refreshed on the screen, and muttered two sentences from time to time.
It has been a month since the last submission, and it is still in the review stage, probably due to the long review cycle of the core journals.
He is not the only author of this paper, and he must not be able to find a journal to submit his manuscript with a short review cycle.
And his other five independently written papers have been successfully published a few days ago.
In other words, as long as the paper is accepted now, then he will be considered to have successfully completed the advanced task and can get the special reward.
Since the research on the intelligent auxiliary diagnostic system was officially concluded last month, the number of visits to the research laboratory has decreased significantly.
Basically, Yang Ningkun is responsible for the follow-up optimization and prepares for the Jingzhou Medical Technology Conference in a few days.
During this time, he was busy building algorithms to train intelligent models, which is equivalent to a different way of thinking and studying mathematics, so after the project is over, he plans to officially start the improvement of topological group theory.
I want to see if I can come up with a new inspiration.
After all, he has finished learning the textbook knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence, and the rest is to participate in the topic to consolidate his understanding.
Before you have a suitable topic, you must make the most of your time.
Studying mathematics couldn't be better.
In any case, he is a member of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Beijing University, and he will definitely promote mathematical research in the institute.
Unlike studying algebraic geometry topology, it is about standing on the shoulders of giants to master existing knowledge
Topological group theory is not.
It is no exaggeration to say that his topological group theory is equivalent to opening up a new discipline.
The difficulty between the two is worlds apart.
As a result, nearly a month has passed, and there has still been no breakthrough in topological group theory.
Continued immersion in this state, brain overclocking re-entered his thoughts.
It is intended to turn on brain overclocking to completely solve the problem of topological group theory.
I just thought that getting the rewards of advanced tasks would increase the brain development rate by one percent on the original basis, and finally decided to wait until I experienced the reward effect.
Perhaps the improvement of hardware will lead to the increase of software, so that the inspiration to improve topological group theory will be found.
This will at least save a lot of points and energy capsules.
For this reason, the first thing he has done every day in recent times is to check the status of his papers.
Almost as soon as the voice fell, the submission status page was finally refreshed, showing the latest status of the manuscript.
The first is the name of the paper.
It's long.
"Application of Intelligent Diagnostic System Based on Artificial Intelligence Deep Learning Image Reconstruction Algorithm in Lung Diseases."
But when his eyes fell, he was attracted by the string of English letters.
Because this string of letters he is familiar with cannot be more familiar.
“Completed accept”
"The manuscript was successfully accepted, and the review efficiency suddenly became faster?"
Temporarily suppressing the excitement in his heart, he refreshed again to confirm that the paper had passed the review, and the expression on his face was finally replaced by joy.
According to his previous knowledge, the average review time for this journal is more than two months.
I didn't expect to cut the time in half directly here.
"That's right."
In the next second, he suddenly thought of something, and didn't care about telling Yang Ningkun and Wang Bo the good news, so he immediately opened the light curtain panel in front of him.
"We have successfully published a total of 10 SCI academic papers, rewarding the increase in brain development rate."
With the prompt information of the completion of the task in his eyes, Xu Yun first felt a strange fluctuation appear in his mind, and then quickly disappeared as if it had never appeared.
It's like upgrading the graphics card to the computer, and there doesn't seem to be any special change after booting it.
But when you play games, you can experience powerful performance.
"Try it first."
Xu Yun didn't think too much about it, and then picked up the pen and resolutely leaned over the scratch paper next to him to continue the calculation.
When his brain began to run at high speed, he found that his reaction speed was much faster.
The formula in hand has not yet been written, and the thinking has already calculated the next steps and results.
He even has a corresponding mathematical model in his mind to assist him in his calculations.
If it took him half a year to perfect the optimal version of topological group theory, this time is expected to be shortened to four months or even three months after the brain development rate increases.
With the substantial increase in efficiency, he finally had the confidence not to turn on the brain overclocking to perfect the topological group theory.
Just as he was about to continue his research, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden ringing of his mobile phone.
Temporarily stopped the action and took out the mobile phone from his pocket, only to see the remarks of the word "chief" displayed on the incoming call screen.
"Why did Old Qian call me at this time?"
Thinking that he hadn't returned to the dormitory since the start of school in the summer vacation, he was worried that the three of them had something important, so he immediately answered the phone after a little hesitation.
As soon as he put the mobile phone to his ear, he heard Qian Yudong's voice coming out of the earpiece.
"Xu Yun."
"Are you at school?"
"Something's wrong."
A few short sentences made a question mark appear in his mind, and he didn't know what Qian Yudong was talking about.
"I'll go over later."
He replied in a deep voice, and then ended the call and planned to go back to the dormitory to see the situation in person.
Detached from the state of high-speed mental power, he first raised his left hand and touched his forehead.
After making sure that the temperature did not rise much, he turned off the computer and got up with his phone and walked outside.
The human brain is also a precision instrument, and the speed of computing far beyond ordinary people will inevitably lead to an increase in internal temperature, but fortunately, this increase does not seem to affect him much.
……
……
"If you have anything to eat, bring me some first."
The first thing Xu Yun said when he walked into the bedroom was not to ask about specific things, but to ask a few people for food.
For this kind of thing, Xu Yun also expressed some helplessness.
Coming from the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, he didn't have much to travel, but he felt hungry.
It wasn't long after breakfast was eaten.
After thinking about it for a while, he thought it should be because of the increase in the speed of mental power.
Compared to physical work, mental power is also very energy-intensive.
That's why turning on brain overclocking requires energy capsules.
Now that his brain hardware has improved compared to ordinary people, his demand for energy will naturally increase.
However, this made him glad, fortunately, the degree of brain improvement this time was not very large.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will become a rice bucket in the future.
"What's the matter, Brother Xu, no matter how busy you are, you can't skip breakfast." Zhao Yuefeng, who had a short haircut, took out a bag of bread and handed it over: "I just have a bag of bread here that I haven't eaten." ”
"Then I'll help you get rid of it."
Xu Yun didn't explain, took the bread and replied and opened it directly.
After taking a few bites, he turned his attention to Qian Yudong and asked about the matter on the phone just now.
"I haven't asked you yet, what happened to you?"
"It's about you."
"About me?" Xu Yun chewed bread in his mouth and asked vaguely.
At this time, Qian Yudong no longer sold Guanzi, and took the initiative to hand over his mobile phone to remind him.
"You'd better see for yourself first, it's not easy to say."
After listening to Qian Yudong's words, Xu Yun's curiosity suddenly increased a lot.
Immediately took the phone and lowered his gaze to check the content on it, wondering what was in Qian Yudong's mouth.
It's a question from Zhihu, and the poster doesn't know if it's Pang Guang's real name.
More than half a million views were received.
The question made him frown slightly, though.
"What do you think of the mathematical genius Xu Yun publishing five papers in a month?"
Swipe the screen along the question and look down, and the most commented answer is still from this account named Pang Guang.
At a cursory glance, the whole content basically affirmed his mathematical talent and achievements in the field of mathematics at first, but then he turned around and accused him of not perfecting topological group theory, publishing low-quality irrigation papers and researching artificial intelligence is a waste of talent.
Yes.
The other party used the word wasted talent.
Compared with his two Annals of Mathematics papers proving the existence of infinite prime numbers in the Hodge conjecture and the Fibonacci sequence, the new papers are indeed much lower in terms of academic value.
But Xu Yun doesn't think his paper is flooding.
And the most unbearable thing is that the other party actually commented that he would not develop much in the field of artificial intelligence.
You should have stopped the precipice early and devoted all your energy to mathematics.
Holding back his mood swings for the time being, he casually clicked on the answer to the many comments that followed.
"If you don't hurry up to study number theory with such a good talent, what kind of artificial intelligence will you run!"
"Mathematics is still relatively young, and it will only be more difficult in the future if you don't prove a few difficult problems now."
"Is this flooding, sending so many papers in a month."
"Isn't it good that Xu Shen perfected the topological group theory earlier, please."
"I've read all five papers, and the content is actually quite good, and it's too much to say."
"Artificial intelligence has no future, so you can give up early."
"I think the field of artificial intelligence is a specific application of mathematics, and what is the use of studying theoretical mathematics alone."
……
After reading the content on the mobile phone roughly, Xu Yun just wanted to say a word to this account named Pang Guang.
What do I study that has something to do with you!
He was sure that the other party obviously didn't read the content of the paper, but he just knew that he had sent five papers and went online.
He also threatened that he would not develop much in the field of artificial intelligence.
If it weren't for the fact that the latest paper had just been published, I am sure that no one would have said such a thing.
The development of science is inseparable from mathematics, but it is not enough to study theories without concrete application.
He doesn't bother to deal with this kind of person, after all, he is also a hot figure in the mathematics world now, and I don't know how many of his related topics are discussed on the Internet every day, and if I really respond to everyone, I'm afraid I don't even have time to study.
